Thanks Izzy. I really havent done much strength training- mostly walking. Im still damn proud of my 38 lbs and can absolutely see a HUGE difference. I was just surprised that my size hadnt changed more.

I saw Izzy say she is down 27 lbs and 3 sizes- WOW that is awesome! I am down about 37 lbs since March. However I went out last week and got a few new pants for work. I was an 18 (pushing 20) or 2X. When I was trying on pants I was sure I would be a 14. Uh-uh. I ended up with 16s. How can I be down almost 40 lbs and only 1…

Yeah Izzy!!!! I know you've been frustrated. Way to hang in there and make up lost ground!!!! Congratulations!!!! Perseverance pays off!!!!!

I was on vacation in Mexico and met a girl from Canada who had weight loss surgery and had lost a lot of weight quickly. We were sitting by the pool in bathing suits... She was complaining her boobs looked like beaver tails!!!! Hahahaha. (and she wasnt far off- LOL)

Name: Lydia Start Weight: 215 Goal (for challenge): 199 7/11: 215 7/18: 212 7/25: 212 8/2: 209.5 Had a great week coming back from a non-losing week! Lots of exercise and MUCH better food choices this week! Goal for next week: 2 lbs Good luck everyone!

I'm 5 months in and down 37lbs. start weight 245, currently 208. I exercise a few times a week, mostly walking. And trying to stay at or under (more days than not) calorie goal of 1300/day. I am in it for the long haul with 75-100 lbs to lose so I'm not being perfect--keeping it sustainable. Good luck to you!

Hang in there Cheryl! Just make sure you are logging everything that goes into your mouth and keep up with the exercising. It will happen. One week you'll drop a couple pounds all at once. Your body is adjusting to the changes and it may take time for the weight loss to happen. Maybe there are non-scale victories…

Weigh in- 212 lbs Goal this week was -1 lb Actual loss: 0 lbs. Not unexpected as we went away for hubbys birthday and didnt really stay on plan. Not gaining is actually a victory for me Goal next week: -2lbs

Izzy- you are so motivational to us all. Don't get down on yourself. As you know its a long slow process. Hang in there!!! A loss is a loss and next week will be better :)

I said no to the rolls my husband and son had their meatballs on. I made paleo meatballs for dinner and while they had theirs on a big roll with melted cheese, I had mine in a bowl. Since I made that choice, I can have a glass of wine tonight :)

thanks izzy-- Not mad at myself because I know I really did do ok with the choices I made- one of which was to enjoy myself. I was just shocked! And I think maybe my scale was a little off because I am almost back to where I was.- or maybe it was some water weight- who knows..... The journey continues :)

So frustrated! This past weekend was my husband's 50th birthday and we went away to a friend's cabin in the mountains for a few days. I gained 3 lbs! I overindulged some but also hiked 2-4 miles each day. I figured I might not lose weight, but to gain THAT much - UGH! My strategy so far has been low carb and to count…

Gabriele- those are amazing results! Congratulations!!! I am on 2 blood pressure meds currently, but need to schedule an apt for my dr because after losing 33 lbs, when I take my BP it is low. Exciting to think how much you can help yourself by losing weight!

Start weight 215 goal this week: -2 lbs loss: -3lbs!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

I dont have "cheat days" In the past when dieting, I did and that diet would last about 1 month and almost everyday became a cheat day. For me it is so negative to say cheating. It makes me get down on myself and before I know it, the diet is done. Now I CHOOSE what I eat. Most times I choose not to eat the wrong thing.…

Congrats!

way to go! so inspiring! Keep it up :)

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!!! What a transformation! Keep it up and thanks for the inspiration- 32 lbs down, 38 to go! (245-175)

Congratulations to everyone who is seeing progress! Its very inspirational to check in and see other people who are on the same path as I am and being successful. To those who gave in and didnt see any loss- remember this is a journey. Learn from it and move on.

Hi all! I'd like to jump in on this. Name: Lydia Age: 46 Height: 5'6' Starting weight (July 11)- 215 Goal Weight (Sept 25)- 199 7/18: 7/25: 8/1: 8/8: 8/15: 8/22: 8/29 9/5: 9/12: 9/19: 9/25: I have been logging on MFP since March and am down 30 pounds :) My 47th birthday is 9/25 and being in ONDERLAND is the best present I…

For me, I do weigh everyday just to keep track of things in my head. I post when I lose at least a pound. A trick for myself (yes, I know it's a trick but it works for me) is I always keep my posted weight about a pound higher than the lowest I see on the scale. This way if I flucuate up a little, like a 1/2 lb, I dont…

Just WOW! I had about 80 lbs to lose and it seemed so overwhelming! Now 4 months in and 30 lbs down, I see that its possible- 1 lb at a time. To see you before and after and how you've stuck to it for 3 YEARS! Again- Just WOW! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!

Hi! I have dieted so many times and was good for a couple weeks- then fell off the wagon and gained it all back plus some each time. This time I have been losing weight since March and am down just over 25 lbs. :smiley: Every other time it was all about denial. This time I am making it about choices. I CHOOSE what I want…

When you feel like quitting, think about why you started. Dont let a bad day turn into a bad week.

20 to go! Thats my 47th birthday present to myself by the end of September. I've been over 200 pretty much since my 22 yr old was born!. Im down 25lbs since March. 5 pounds/month and Im in ONEderland :smiley:
